Booking page & client experience
How this is scored
What the person booking sees and can do: a booking page with the services or meeting types on offer, their durations and prices, booking questions, an embed or widget for the business's own website, time zones and languages, group or class bookings, and links to reschedule or cancel without calling.
0 — Not a booking product: no page or widget where a customer picks a slot; appointments are entered by staff only.
3 — A booking page or form exists, but the pages say little about how it works: types of appointment, booking questions, embedding and rescheduling are not described.
5 — A booking page with several appointment or service types of their own duration, custom booking questions, and a way to put it on the business's website (link, embed or widget); confirmations carry a link to reschedule or cancel.
8 — In addition: group or class bookings with seat limits, booking pages in several languages with automatic time-zone handling, branding without the vendor's logo, multi-step selection of service, staff member and location, and a booking flow the vendor states is accessible or mobile-optimised.
10 — Booking as a finished storefront: packages, memberships or recurring bookings, intake forms with conditional questions, booking from Google or other directories, a customer account with booking history, and an accessibility statement for the booking pages published.
The Independent Consultant
Clients can book around the clock on a booking website the vendor calls customizable, each staff member carries a 'book now' point with a location section, and I can attach my own terms and privacy policy to the booking flow. We found no public information on appointment types with their own durations and prices, booking questions, embedding the page into my own website, or client links to reschedule and cancel. 1 4 5 6
